(The octet in this example has the correct rhyme scheme, but the sestet does not rhyme properly. The lines are too short, only five syllables each, and there is no "turn" between octet and sestet)
She was found to wilt
With words she scours
Ivory towers
The thick walls she built
Well tarnished with guilt
She hides , she cowers
In empty bowers
With her red wine spilt
She can never sip
And she has not health
She's buttoned her lip
She hears no one else
In walls ten miles thick,
she grieves for herself
Don't tell the world (This example has the correct number of syllables per line, but the rhyme scheme is not regular and the last two lines do not rhyme. Also, the author has created sentences which are grammatically wrong in order to facilitate the rhythm)
I behold thy love as beautiful thing,
In my wrecked heart, a pleasure garden,
Thy revered love, a blooming Eden.
A daisy tuft seasoned by bright spring,
Surging in moments that defeats waiting,
I behold thy words as a jeweled crown
On my worn pages of despicable frown.
And thy memory feeds my mind dying,
Daring couple disclose, but don't you tell,
About memoirs many encased and kept,
Say not thy chronicle, sweet as daisy smell,
Buried, not unseen to thy eyes except
Reveal not, the guarded stash of our love,
Lest a rational world desires to know! ! !
Escape From The Sad Heart (Here the rhyme scheme is regular, and there is a change in tone after line eight, although there are only five syllables per line with a regular -/--/ rhythm)
Sad heart please disguise
For I cannot hide
how I feel inside
Tears behind my eyes
My sad heart's capsized
Shipwrecked by the tide.
My thoughts start to slide
Into a sunrise
It's there I escape
Like a bird in flight
There I feel the shape
of ships in the night
On a lost landscape
far away from sight
